How hot do you like your meals? Chances are, not as hot as the latest offering from Morrisons. To celebrate Halloween, the supermarket will be selling its 'Hotter than Hell' pizza in stores across the country.

Believed to be the hottest supermarket pizza ever made and sold in the UK, the pizza features the British grown Naga chilli which has a Scoville rating of up to 1 million (200 times spicier than Tabasco sauce), making it one of the hottest chilli peppers in the world.

Those who take on the challenge can first expect the tongue to go numb and talking will become difficultMorrisons

Due to the hotness of the pepper, Morrisons' pizza counter staff have been given strict instructions for preparing the pizza, including wearing safety goggles, latex gloves, aprons and using special chopping equipment to handle the Naga chilli pepper.

And as if that wasn't enough, the pizza will also be topped with spicy pulled steak, spicy chicken, Jalapeño pepperoni, a chilli cheese crumb, jalapeños, and a sprinkling of crushed chillies

Morrisons say the pizza is aimed at "chilli lovers who get a kick out of the heat" and warn that it will be a "painful eat" for those who aren't used to hotter foods: "Those who take on the challenge can first expect the tongue to go numb and talking will become difficult.

"Then a burning sensation will start in the mouth and continue down the throat, whilst the eyes and nose will start to run. Most people will become hot and sweaty. The sensation will last for 15 minutes - after which some people may feel euphoric as hot chillies are known to generate an endorphin rush."

Due to the extreme reaction that is expected to happen to those brave enough eat it, Morrisons have recommended that only people over the age of 16 take on the challenge.

Do you dare try the Morrisons 'Hotter than Hell' pizza

Pizza buyer at Morrisons, Sabina Qureshi, said: "Chilli fans have been telling us they don't get the extreme heat they're after when eating regular pizzas, so we thought we'd make something for Halloween with more of a kick.

"We've worked with our British chilli grower to grow these extreme heat chillies, and our pizza counter staff are now on standby in their protective gear to make the pizzas up."

The pizza will be available from Morrisons stores from 28 - 31 October, retailing at £2.60 for one or two for £4.

Supermarkets in the UK are increasingly opening up to the chilli pepper market.

Salvatore Genovese, the largest producer of chilli peppers in the UK said: "Chilli pepper culture has become very popular in the UK over the last five years. The fantastic success of the Komodo Dragon proved that Brits are among the world's greatest lovers of chilli peppers."
